Social Network for RSA Fellows
Future Universities
Information
If we could look back from 2037, what directions might we wish universities had taken in 2012?
This group is for Fellows to develop questions and discussion, leading through to defining and shaping an RSA Future Universities project.
We've started off with some initial questions on access, governance, and the role of individual universities; please do add more!

Yesterday was the beginning of our new academical year in Cambridge. As usual, the Vice-Chancellor delivered a speech setting out his stall for the forthcoming year.
The big thing this year in his speech is the North-West Cambridge development, which is up for approval this year by the University's governing body, the Regent House.
You can read the VC's speech here: VC's speech 2012-13.

I hope people don't mind me posting here, but I'd really appreciate it if you could do this online experiment (being run through University College, London - UCL) and share it widely.
It's not spam (honest) - just look at the accuracy of my spelling and absence of pharmaceutical offers! Here it is:
Clinician or otherwise, this simple reasoning study will help shape the future of medicine by helping us to understand how people operate in resource constrained situations.
The experiment will take less than 10 minutes and your responses will be anonymous.
I'd be really grateful if you can offer your support in doing the experiment and in sharing it with your contacts so I can get appropriate numbers for analysis.
If you are keen to hear the outcome, I can send you a copy of the study on request.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best wishes,
Jonathan
